Yes I have the same as Don, with a 1/4 inch aluminium backing plate under the gunnels.

Yes, this subject has been thrashed over time and I have been guilty of participating in the past. But......why in the Yamaha Engine specs for the 4 strokes they say WOT 5000 to 6000 rpms? Yet we seem to insist that in order to avoid engine damage we must be up around the 6000 rpm WOT. I am...

Thanks seasick, I will arrive!......eventually

Sorry guys, was practising getting pics onto the site. Which I did manage, then tried everything to remove the image just so I could. It looks like I did not quite complete the process. Having difficulty getting more than one pic at a time . Would like to post more pics so I am working on that...

seasick, sorry I was not clear. I purchased them some years ago and my note was just a reference of where they are available.

Ordered a set from Jacobsens Marine in Edmonds Washington. r

Regarding a kicker connection to the main. Easy to make... get appropriate length of "ss ready rod". Purchase the ball joint ends and connectors at any boat dealer. You will need a piece of stainless or aluminium angle to extend the angle of the rod on the kicker, so the connecting rod will...

I have an F 200 xb on my 208, after recently installing a 4 blade prop I raised the the motor to the last hole and works well in the conditions I float in. Not sure how it would respond in a big lump. May find out over the next few months.

Ruddyhair, just to be clear. The cabins on the 228 and 208 are the same but with the 228 you get a longer deck and a heavier boat, which will probably handle the lumps a little better. I have owned my 208 for 10 years and for what we do it is a perfect fit. Mostly just my wife and I, fishing...

I believe I mentioned this before,. I installed the Seaworthy scupper flaps on my 208 but only on the splash well drains (scuppers). They are flush a mount, so will not work on the stern deck scuppers. They appear to be doing the job, but so far do not get much salt water exposure being...

Mustang, apart from being "Great Grady Hunter.com", you must be fast on the keyboard. It would take me a good part of a morning to type out your valued responses to some of us who are of the slow fingered persuasion. But I never had a problem with my thought process keeping up with the...

It is beauty fish hunter, love the hull colour! Is the raised portion at the bow a raised cover? Could you post more pics of the interior. Do not get a chance to see too many new Gradys here on the island.

Not clear on what the issue is your dealer is referring to. The two control arms? do not touch each other with plenty of space between them to clearly operate either with no interference. I had never thought of it being cumbersome or otherwise, as they are distinctly two different controls...

Definitely a do it yourself, Reattach existing cables to the main and then push new cables through to the stern for the the kicker. Cut a bigger hole for the 2nd set of cables. Make sure your kicker cables are long enough so there is no pinching at the kicker placement. Also remote ignition...

Fortunately Summertop we do not get much of that "big following rolling sea" up here off the inside of the Island, If we do I have not found myself in it too often. Not sure if you meant trim or mounting hole down.

joe, sell the single Yamaha control and get the Twin 704 control box. Running both motors from the same place at the helm.

Got out to play with the new Powertech 4 blade prop. All good! Did mange for the first time get to see the antiventilation plate looking back at me. Better results than the 3 blade Reliance. Thanks again Ken at Prop Gods.

I have yet to gaze in wonder at my anti-ventilation plate while up on plane, so......I am hoping to get a glimpse when I wet the yacht with the Yam in the new "no holes barred position. The raising or lowering of the outboard is not a difficult event, I have the support and the chain hoist...

Thanks Kizuna. I am aware of that, the deed is done and now weather permitting, sea trials
